I really want to teach English over-seas as well. I did the opposite thing that Silverboy did. I spent the past five years trying to find a partner and chasing after people

That's not the opposite of what Silverboy did, it's the exact same thing as what he does and is doing, by his own words.

As for making a career out of teaching ESL, big mistake, as this is no career, especially for someone as young as you. Like silverboy said, for those younger than 35, this is more a waste of your time then anything else. It won't help you much if any to get work when you return to the state, or where ever you live, not really. Best you find something more of substance until you get older and have some other form of decent work experience under your belt. Coming here, for someone as young as yourself, it won't do much good for your resume or your "career" whatever that ends up being. It won't be in ESL, that's for certain.
